I sent a copy of my Drivers Lic along with my paperwork just because I trust the DOT even less than the DOJ

I did send a copy of my DL as well, but from the DOJ stand point just because its on the license doesnt mean that is where you actually live. As this was in my case. On my DL it has my old address, and i also copied my vehicle title as proof of residence. I also went on the DOT website and changed my address, on one of their links just to be sure. But this seems to late for him. Thanks for the info tho.

I just moved from Minnesota to Wisconsin in April 2011. First I re-titled my car and plates at my new address. Had to be here 3 months before I could get a new DL. When I went back to get my DL they couldn't find my Name/and plates in the DOT system. Seems they added just one letter to my first name and it screwed up their entire search system. That being corrected (I hope) I got my new DL in June. But who knows DOT is just one more civil service operation with little hope of ever finding any significant strain of competence.

I'm in double misery. I went straight from mailing my application on the 1st to my local shop and ordered my carry gun. Neither one has landed yet. Didn't think to send the app via registered so I could track it and I went with a money order that I also can't track (without paying a fee). Sort of hosed myself, methinks.

The Eagle Has Landed!!
Well, as a followup to last evenings story, I came home after another long day, walked in the house, walked back out of the house to the mailbox, searched the box, only to disappointed to see it was empty. Trudging back up the driveway (did I mention it is UPHILL, both ways?), went inside to see my wife, her aunt, sister and her sister's boyfriend sitting down to a nice meal, which my wife knows I do not care for (the meal, not the people). Well anyway, I look around, and there GLOWING in the corner hutch by the phone sits an envelope from the Wisconsin DOJ . My wife knew I was waiting for this, and said she was going to hide it, at which point I threw out all the guests.....No wait, I just opened the envelope, and laid my eyes on that treasure known as a Concealed Carry License, #56XX. So, 15 days after dropping it in the mail Registered, and 9 days after the check cleared, the Eagle Landed. Good luck to all my compatriots in Freedom. Bob

This system stinks!!!!! If not issued within 45 days can you guys carry by default? We have that here in Virginia.

Had that in Minnesota but totally unenforceable from the CCW's side. No permit you WILL go to jail. You may get off after significant expense but will have to prove much and pray your permit is actually issued. Better to wait. In Wisconsin were operating under temporary emergency rules yet. Some details yet to be determined.

Mailed my app on Nov. 2nd. Check cleared on Nov. 14th. Waiting on the mail box to receive the goods. Will keep you updated. Good luck to everyone.

Previous post being updated... woke up at 10:30 waited till 11:30 thought I heard the mail man go by went out and checked nothing.... 15 min go by.. Now the mail comes run out and check. It's here!! 11/17. Was worth the wait!
Permit #58**. Good luck all!
